Translator™ 6 New Features...

May 20th, 2012 - Translator™ 6 is the new version of Chicken System's industry-standard instrument conversion software. It comes in Mac OSX and Windows versions. The older Windows version has been completely rewritten from scratch and is feature-feature equivalent to the Mac version.

Translator™ 6 includes the new long-requested features:

Beat Detection
Translator™ 6 includes several beat-detection algorithms so sample files (WAVE/AIFF, other) can be converted into slice-formats such as ACID, AppleLoops, Stylus RMX, and others (Recycle 2 not included). You can now for the first time bulk-convert hundreds (or thousands) of WAVE files into slice-formats without the need to do it clumsily one at a time.

Instrument Player
Translator™ 6 includes a brand new Instrument Player so most Instruments viewed in Translator™ 6 can be played from a MIDI or onscreen keyboard for auditioning.

Rewritten Master Translation Dialog
Instrument-specific conversion options now appear here for quick/specific changes.

Rewritten Windows Version
The venerable Translator™ 2.9 has now been finalized at v3.0 and deprecated. Further completion will be done incrementally but the official version is now version 6. This version is code and feature compatible with Translator Mac v6 and adds the many new features Translator Mac had, such as detachable windows, Batch Convertor, Instrument Viewer, and most importantly the advanced standardized Conversion Engine (which powers Translator Mac, other Chicken Systems products, and is licensed to Native Instruments and other professional sampling companies).

Video Available Translator™ 6 (it says Translator ALT, but it applies to 6)

New Compiler
Translator™ 6 is created using a new modern compiler resulting in more stable and faster operation.

Translator™ 6 is FREE for registered Translator users. Registered customers can get Translator™ 6 by opening their program; the Check For Updates function announces the new version and allows you to download it.

We have added more product videos on Translator™ and its features (plus other products); see here: www.chickensys.com/movies.

Translator™ 6 is by far the best and most strenuously supported conversion product on the marker. New builds come out about once a month, and we are constantly improving the internal conversion engine. When there's a new format, or a new version (like Kontakt 4.2) we are there with an update.

There just isn't any better conversion product!
